Momentum made by you

Join Us

We believe you’ve got sparkle and shine and want to show you there’s no need to hold back. Join us and we’ll help look at your future from every possible angle and show you the opportunities others won’t. This is your springboard to independence. This is the time to drive forward and make some momentum for the life you want to live.

Self-refer

Be referred

You can be referred to us by an agency like Job Centre Plus or by your Leaving Care Team.

Other ways you can join

If you’re not a young care leaver but want to be part of what we’re doing, then we are always on the look out for volunteers, mentors and people who can give just a little bit of time to play a positive role in the lives of our young people. Take a look at our Volunteer page to find out how you can get involved

your details

Once we’ve got your details we’ll invite you in to meet one of our Employment Consultants for a face-to-face chat. This gives us the opportunity to find out more about your current situation, what additional support you need, what careers you’re interested in and where your strengths lie.

After that we will work on a plan that is tailored to your particular needs. This will be a mixture of one-to-one sessions and group activities, such as Career Club and HR Speed Dating.

We look forward to meeting you.
